How to Choose a VPN

by David Murphy
Erin H

I use IPVanish and am VERY happy with it. You can use it on up to 10 devices at once, so we can have it on all our firestick/cubes, phones, and tablets, laptops, and the Xbox.

Finding a great VPN service can be a challenging task—and that’s putting it mildly. It’s not hard to find any VPN service. There are plenty of apps that promise to encrypt your connection by shuffling it through a third-party server, causing your requests to appear as if they’re coming from said server (even if its…

Watch Miley Cyrus Cover Ariana Grande's 'No Tears Left to Cry'

by Hannah Gold on The Muse, shared by Hannah Gold to Jezebel
Erin H

Eh, I usually like Miley's covers, but this one is def not her best. I get that she did it to honor Ariana, but yeesh.

On Tuesday, Miley Cyrus teamed up with frequent collaborator Mark Ronson, to cover her buddy Ariana Grande’s hit song “No Tears Left to Cry” in a BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Performance which is sure to incite many a comparison.

Make Korean Sauna Eggs in Your Instant Pot

by Claire Lower on Skillet, shared by Claire Lower to Lifehacker
Erin H

Oh fuck yes! I love the eggs at King Spa, I'm totally making these at home!

I am forever surprised by how many different ways you can cook and eat eggs. Within the scrambled genre alone, I have three favorites (super slow, whipped with an immersion blender, and blended with with cheese). Recently, I’ve been really into the hard bois. I love deviling them (obviously), and wrapping them in miso

This $20 Fitness Tracker Lasts For a Year On A Charge

by Shep McAllister on Kinja Deals, shared by Chelsea Stone to Lifehacker
Erin H

This is the one I use - it's not a "charge", it's an actual removable battery, but they got the rest right. It's totally waterproof, I love it.

While not as ubiquitous as Fitbits, Garmin’s Vivofit 3 is a damn fine fitness tracker that lasts for a year (yes, a year) on a charge, and you can grab it from Dick’s Sporting Goods for $20 right now. You should see that discount at checkout, but we don’t expect it to last.

Hot Debate: What Do You Call the End of a Loaf of Bread? — Food News

by Naomi Tomky
Erin H

The official name is the heel, but I call it the bread butt. I like bread butts and I cannot lie, you other people can't deny, when a loaf comes in and it's sliced really thin you get crumbs!

Everybody knows that feeling of dread — when you pick up the loaf of bread and the only thing left are the ends. Those pieces, which have the crust all over one side, rather than just on the edges, are the ugly stepchild of the bread industry. Long after most of us have outgrown wanting the crusts cut off our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, we still don't want to touch those end pieces — the balance of crust to insides is simply off, we can all agree on that. What we can't all agree on, Twitter discovered recently, is what we call those pieces.

Taylor Swift Fans Surveilled With Facial Recognition Technology in Search for Stalker 

by Hannah Gold
Erin H

I'm hearing a lot of hubbub about this and I'm so confused. Nearly every event I go to has a standard "by entering the premises you consent to being photographed and filmed and have zero rights yadda yadda". How is this a privacy issue if everyone consents by entering? Not to mention that legally there is no expectation of privacy in public places? I think Jezebel just has a bug up their ass about her.

The rollercoaster that is Taylor Swift’s Politics is, upon examination, more of a flat line. She refrained from discussing the 2016 election only to reveal in the midterms that she does indeed vote—Democrat in this case. She has faced down groping and stalking, and those are true injustices, but part of her team’s…

Washing the Dishes May Help Relieve Stress, According to Science — Wellness News

by Naomi Tomky
Erin H

Uh-no uh-doy.

Dishes stress me out. Usually because as I'm flinging oatmeal bowls at my children and panic-cooking pork shoulder for tomorrow's work potluck while defrosting fish for dinner, all I see is the mess I'm making and the chores someone will have to do later. And by someone, I mostly mean my husband. But it turns out, if I'm creating all that stress, maybe I should be doing the dishes, too, in order to actually relieve the stress.

Jennifer Garner Will Bring Her "Pretend Cooking Show" to TV — Pop Culture

by Elisabeth Sherman
Erin H

OMG I love the Pretend Cooking Show! It's only going to be a segment on Barefoot Contessa, but I trust this is step 1 to it becoming a real teevee show.

Of all the people that I thought would become a social media superstar in 2018, Jennifer Garner was not among them. And yet here we are. This is the year that Garner stole our hearts on Instagram, and proved that the world would be a better place if she had her own cooking show. After all, she's probably picked up a few tricks from her best friend, Ina Garten. In fact, Garner already has a cooking show of sorts, which she features on her Instagram page, cheekily titled "Pretend Cooking Show."

This Lip Smacker Advent Calendar Will Bring You Straight Back to Your Childhood

by Ana Luisa Suarez
Erin H

OMG I need dis.

There are a few things that you can hear and smell that will transport you right back to your childhood. The sound of a slap bracelet hitting skin. Your 5th-grade classroom had a weird smell that you'll never forget. Your friends were all fighting over who had a cooler Lisa Frank notebook, while you were busy applying your favorite Lip Smacker. You might be an adult with a well-paying job, kids of your own, but you'll always remember what a Lip Smacker smelled like even if you haven't used one in 15 years.

If you like quality makeup, this is an amazing deal. I don't technically NEED any of this but I bought it anyway, it's a huge savings and it's not like it will go bad sitting and waiting for me to run out of my current products (except the mascara, which I need to switch out in a couple weeks anyhow).

Talk about a sweet deal. Go-to makeup brand Tarte Cosmetics has reupped their incredible custom kit promotion. Beauty lovers pick seven of their favorite full-size Tarte products, plus a makeup bag to store everything in, for a mere $63. Yes, you read that right.

I don't think these writers actually listened to the song. It's very sweet, not petty at all!

On Saturday night, roughly 30 minutes before her erstwhile fiancé Pete Davidson clocked into work at Saturday Night Live, Ariana Grande released into the ether, “thank u, next” —a petty bop seemingly aimed square at his tender heart.

Urban Outfitters Sells a Gold-Flecked Toilet Seat That Will Make You Feel Like a Queen

by Ana Luisa Suarez
Erin H

It looks FILTHY omg

Have you ever wanted to remodel your bathroom? You can get new tiles, a fancy mirror, chic decor, but at the end of the day, your toilet still is a toilet. It's not your toilet's fault that it is so unglamorous. It has a pretty dirty job and it never gets any thanks for doing it. If you're tired of the boring old white toilet that is standard in just about every bathroom in America, it is time for an interesting upgrade.

TOO MUCH STUF, THE KITCHN?!?! Are you HIGH? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH STUF, GOOD DAY SIR!

Rumors have been circulating the last couple days about a new Oreo cookie, and this time it's not a strange new flavor (I'm looking at you, pop rocks). On Monday, Instagram account @thejunkfoodaisle shared that Oreo was creating its biggest cookie ever: the Most Stuf. The Instagram post assured fans that this cookie is an "actual product photo" and that it's coming soon.

You guys, is there TOO MUCH Stuf in these Oreos? Because I think this cookie is living on the edge.
